Okay, a few ideas (but I have found a bunch of unhappy users with the same problem)
Uninstall Office, then install all the updates, then install Office.
If that doesn't work, try uninstalling and installing again but with UAC disabled.

I tried everything and gave up... I un-instgalled office 2007, deleted all files and directories that were not removed by uninstall. Re-install office and it is working. I have no intentikon to apply updates..

I do not know why Microsoft does not fix this major bug.

One of the articles posted above refers to a perticular update causing the problem. I do not want to testa one update at a time. I'll live with what I got..

I read about another program that was giving the same problems, despite the same thing (only user was admin, etc.) - Vista had decided that there were potential users who did not have rights to use the program and refused to let the admin use it either until he went into the properties and gave all users full rights. Pfui.
Well, I know this isn't really solved, but could you please use the button at the top to mark this thread as Solved, just so others don't come looking to see if they can help?
Thanks!

Slurpee55,

I have found a few posts on this topic marked Solved. But the problem hasn't been solved. People give up. Is it possible to mark a thread Closed rather than Solved?
